I’m starting to get excited about the next academic year. Is this normal?

I just can’t help being enthused by the thought of fresh starts, new classes, new modules to teach, new pupils and new challenges. I love that I get to have this new year buzz in the middle of the calendar year too; it’s so much easier to be positive & optimistic when the sun is shining than in mid-winter!

So, I am starting myself a to do list for next year, so I can keep track of all my proposed good intentions. Here goes:

Fully integrate Moodle into my own working practice & then encourage full department participation

Research Masters courses for 2011

Make my SmartBoard my new best friend – get to grips with the software upgrade & use it! (Not long had it fully operational so have got out of habit of using it.)
